By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and fig open with a combination that is simultaneously tart and soft — fig's milky, vaguely green quality moderating the citrus bite. Gardenia and lily keep the floral dimension clean and slightly aquatic; snowdrops add a cool, dewy undercurrent that lifts the heart.
The base is grounded by cedar and vetiver, with fig tree extending the distinctive quality of the opening into a dry, woody conclusion. The overall character is fresh and lightly green — a quiet gem in the Avon Rare line, built for warm-weather wear.
